  • the messaging interchange system takes the responsibility for determining the correct owner of the code, providing routing information back to the home (originating) messaging system or routing the request to the destination messaging system (the owning messaging system) , and returning an indication of the function that is to be performed back to the home messaging system via a standardized protocol.

If the code data is native to the home messaging system, then the home messaging system further processes the code data by performing a function in accordance with the code data.
  • the home messaging system transmits a resolution request message to a messaging interchange system, the resolution request message including the code data, and the messaging interchange system processes the resolution request message to determine routing information to a destination messaging system, wherein the code data is native to the destination messaging system.
  • the messaging interchange system then enables transmission of the resolution request message to the destination messaging system.
  • the destination messaging system receives the resolution request message, analyzes the code data from the resolution request message, and provides a resolution response message for the home messaging system.
  • the home messaging system receives the resolution response message and performs a function in accordance therewith.
  • the messaging interchange system enables transmission of the resolution request message to the destination messaging system by determining path information from the resolution request message, the path information indicating whether (A) the routing information should be returned to the home messaging system, or (B) the routing information should be used by the messaging interchange system for forwarding the resolution request message to the destination messaging system.

  • the OMI system uses a "star" topology, in which each individual OMS 2, 4, 6, 8 need communicate only with the OMI system 10.
  • Alternate arrangements are, of course, possible - in particular, one could adopt a topology in which each individual OMS communicated directly with every other OMS. Such an arrangement, however, is difficult to extend over time as more OMSs come on line.

  • OMI supports the routing of the following commercial product codes (although it can of course be extended to others) : UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN- 13, EAN-8, and ISBN. Each of these code types is briefly described below .
  • UPCs Universal Product Codes
  • the A variety uses a numbering plan that is 12 digits in length, structured as follows :
  • UPC-E Codes UPC-E is an 8-digit numbering standard used in situations where package size precludes the use of the full UPC-A barcode format. UPC-E is also referred to as zero compressed UPC, since the process of transforming a UPC-A into a UPC-E involves removing zeros. As such, every UPC-E can be transformed into an equivalent UPC-A. The reverse is not true - not every UPC-A has a UPC-E equivalent.
  • JAN codes are a subset of EAN codes based on a Japanese country code, so for the purposes of this specification, JAN codes are identical to EAN codes. This is a 13-digit numbering standard, consisting of the following: • A 2-3 digit System Code which usually identifies the country of origin. Some exceptions include System Codes 978 and 979, which are reserved for encoding ISBN codes, and 977, which is used to encode ISSN's.
  • EAN-8 is a European standard barcode, intended for the same purpose as UPC-E. Unlike the UPC-E system, however, EAN-8 codes are not created by manipulating EAN-13 codes. Instead, EAN-8 is its own numbering standard including the following:
  • ISBN International Standard Book Numbers
  • ISBN codes employ a check digit algorithm that operates in base 11.
  • the check digit can have the values zero through ten, where ten is represented as the character X.
  • ISBNs are almost never printed in barcode form. Instead, the standard approach is to use what is sometimes called a Bookland code, which is a form of EAN code.
  • An ISBN is typically transformed into a Bookland code by stripping off the ISBN check character, prefixing the code with the digits 978 to yield a 12-digit sequence, and then computing and appending the appropriate EAN check digit.
  • Decoding such as barcode follows the reverse process - the 978 (or, in some cases 979) prefix is recognized as indicating that the barcode contains an ISBN, and the Group Identifier Code, Publisher Code and Item Number are extracted accordingly. If necessary, the full original ISBN can be recovered by regenerating the check character using this extracted information .
  • UPC, EAN-13 and ISBN codes are completely disjoint from one another - they have lengths of 12, 13 and 10 respectively, so it is always possible to distinguish among them. Further, valid codes can be typically distinguished from random digit strings of matching length through the use of the check digit algorithm supported by each numbering plan.
  • the present invention includes a new numbering system available for use by OMI vendors.
  • This proposed system is intended as a top-level OMS industry standard, similar to the way that UPC is the top-level standard for retail. It allows independent generation of numbers by OMS vendors without the fear of duplication, and also is designed to guarantee that conforming numbers will not conflict with existing commercial codes.
  • the ownership of any code generated according to this standard can always be unambiguously determined (at least, to the OMS level), and thus routing can be accomplished in an unambiguous manner. Tracking which code belongs to which customer within a particular OMS would still be the responsibility of the OMS vendor itself.
  • OMS vendors are not required to adopt this new numbering standard; however the ability of the OMI to successfully route existing proprietary number systems will depend on additional metadata which may or may not always be available. As such, vendors are encouraged to comply with this numbering standard when generating codes that may reasonably be expected to be encountered by foreign readers.
  • OMI Codes have, at minimum, an OMS identification prefix and an item identification number.
  • OMS identification prefix has, at minimum, an OMS identification prefix and an item identification number.
  • An OMI code could the following characteristics:
  • an OMI code has the following components:
  • Each participating OMS will be issued a unique OMS ID number, which will be used in the creation of OMI Codes by that OMS Vendor.
  • OMS ID There is no fundamental reason a particular vendor could not have more than one OMS ID, however at present there is no compelling reason why more than one needs to be issued per vendor.
  • the format of the Item ID field is left completely up to the particular OMS Vendor, allowing any proprietary sub-structure desired. As long as the OMS Vendor only generates codes with its own OMS ID, there is no fear of collisions between vendors. Thus, the OMS ID parallels in function the Manufacturer ID of the UPC numbering system.
  • the check digit is computed using the same algorithm used by the EAN-13 symbology. Thus, the check digit is correct if the following relationship holds:
  • the 16 represents the OMS ID •
  • the 123 represents the Item ID
  • the requirement that the code be of odd length (and not 13 digits in length) may require padding to be added at times. If, in the above case, the Item ID to be encoded had been 12 instead of 123, the naturally resulting code would have been six digits in length. In this case, the OMS Vendor has the option of padding either the Item ID field (i.e. encoding the Item ID as 012) or the OMS ID field (i.e. encoding the OMS ID as 016 instead of 16, and changing the OMS ID Length field accordingly) . The choice is left to the OMS Vendor.
  • OMS Vendors may obviously choose to use their own internal numbering standards within the Item ID field.
  • an existing proprietary code could be transformed into an OMI Code by wrapping the proprietary code with the OMS Vendor Length, OMS Vendor and Check Digit fields, thus making the code unambiguously routable at the cost of a few extra digits. This parallels, to some extent, the way that international telephone numbers are made unambiguously routable by prefixing them with International Country Codes.
  • This system thus imposes a minimum overhead of three digits (or only two if one is comparing to a similar system that has a check digit) .
  • This system thus offers the following numbers of codes:
  • Proprietary Codes represents that category of codes currently supported by existing OMS Vendors.
  • One such example is the NEOMEDIA QODE Number system.
  • QMS A reads a code that is exclusively serviced by itself (a native code) .
  • QMS A reads a code exclusively serviced by QMS B (a foreign or non-native code) .
  • OMS A recognizes that the code is not exclusively assigned to itself. As a result, it submits the code to the OMI, which provides OMS A with the correct routing address of OMS B or simply routes the code to OMS B to be resolved. OMS B will compensate OMS A and the OMI for this transaction.
  • OMS A recognizes that the code is not exclusively assigned to itself. As a result, it submits the code to the OMI, but with an indication that it would prefer to provide content if possible.
  • OMI routing is, fundamentally, performed based on the owner of the code to be serviced. Ownership is determined based on the combination of the barcode symbology, the code type and an OMS Routing ID, which may vary according to the code type. As stated earlier, for Proprietary codes, the barcode symbology is used to determine the owner of the code, and is generally sufficient for routing purposes.
  • Table 3 below indicates the quantities that constitute the OMS Routing ID for the other code types:
  • the transaction routing will support an option whereby a particular Home OMS can prevent transactions from going to a particular Destination OMS via the OMI routing process.
  • This might be appropriate in situations in which only one OMS provides content for a particular category of codes, but the two OMS could not come to mutual agreement on financial terms, or where there were other agreements whereby they would not service one another's codes.
  • This would allow these OMS to participate in the overall OMI structure for other code types but essentially not see one another for this particular code type without needing to explicitly pre-filter the codes that they sent up to the OMI. Rules of this nature would need to have valid business reasons, and be approved by the OMI.
  • the OMI system architecture consists of two types of systems: Gateways and a Directory. As shown in Figure 4, these systems are logically connected in a star topology, with the Directory in the center.
  • OMIP Optical Messaging Interchange Protocol
  • This message is sent from an OMS to the OMI requesting resolution of a particular code.
  • OMI Resolution Response This message is sent from the OMI to the OMS in response to an OMS Resolution Request, and carries the information indicating the action that the OMS should perform in response to the code.
  • This message is sent from the OMI to an OMS requesting resolution of a particular code.
  • This message is sent from the OMS to the OMI in response to an OMI Resolution Request, indicating the action that should be conveyed back to the home OMS.

  • the OMI determines the Destination OMS according to its routing rules, and transmits the Destination OMS address back to the Home OMS or forwards an OMI Resolution Request to that OMS.
  • the Destination OMS determines the appropriate action that should be taken, and returns this information to the Home OMS or the OMI in an OMS Resolution Response message .

  • Access Points are not obligated to implement a history feature - this information is intended to allow OMS that have restrictions on how items can be saved to pass these restrictions on to other OMS. If this data is omitted, the Access Point is free to choose its own behavior.
  • This field indicates whether the Home OMS would prefer to provide content for this transaction if this is permitted. If this field is set and if the particular code is not exclusively assigned to a particular Destination OMS, the OMI will return an Action that authorizes the Home OMS to provide the Action.
